RE: My Account Profile was stolen...please Help me!!!

in #blog7 years ago

First of all you probably don't have to worry about your account being hacked because all profile pictures are public on the blockchain and someone doesn't need access to your account to get it.
Second thing is that anybody can upload any profile picture they want and you can't stop that, your best chance is trying to contact that person maybe via comments on one of its post and trying to resolve the problem directly with him.

Haha, yeah that happens sometimes!

Well...........there goes peoples REAL pic on profiles. Never thought of that but Im changin mine also. Maybe to some animal with paranoid tendencies.

I'm actually a gentleman panda. Good day to you sir. #TipsHat

Great thank you for your responds. I am trying to get support from the community so that everybody knows that this person is doing something wrong. It is not ok to take a real life picture from somebody else and pretend that this is him. I want that the community is aware of @bearbear613 that he is promoting himself with a false profile Image. I don`t know why he is doing it and why choosed me as a victim... if my efforts with the community are not working I will try to solve the problem by contacting him!!!

It is good getting the community involve but I still believe you should try to contact him in parallel(without waiting) to resolve the issue sometime exposing people publicly(using comment on his post) and asking him why he did that and if he could stop could just be enough for him to change his profile picture. But then this is just my opinion do has you wish.

That sucks! I changed my profile pic because of the fact that the profile pics can be used this way. I dont think you got any real good answer here. That answer would just piss me off. Change your profile pic to something else. Good luck.

Yep you got it....it is really sad that, unfortunatly you have to take the risk, when you want to use your real life photo. I am glad that this post could help other people to avoid this kind of problem!!!

Looks like he or she took the pic down. I also wonder if he or she thought it would help his or her following numbers....and I think it would! he had commented before on his numbers as they were so important my take is he or she used your pic to up his followers numbers. Who knows its a bullshit thing to do or to be ABLE to do period.
